Butterfly Walk at Estero

The second Butteryfly Walk at Estero was good but the cold weather in the Valley has been tough on the butterflies. Rick says they have been coming back after the cold but it is not like last year. A smaller group of Butterfly Geeks showed up as it was another windy day. But they brought their binoculars, books, and their budding enthusiasm for butterflies.

The Geek Herself

My daughter called me a geek and defined it as someone who is enthusiastic 

and takes pleasure from (an obscure) hobby.  Yes, I am!

And it is my pleasure to know many other Geeks in the Rio Grande Valley.
